The small museum with a big heart, that is very close to my heart = Hackney Museum.

Voting closes today at 8pm UK time for a once in a museum’s lifetime chance to work with Yinka Shonibare MBE, internationally acclaimed artist and Hackney resident. So even though he lives 6 streets down from our Museum we need to win his time, creative energy, vision, input through the funded Museums at Night competition.

Every vote counts in these last few hours as we are up against some big museums and we know in hearts we have every chance of winning an amazing supper club to celebrate Black History season in October 2015. Voters get a chance to be a guest at Yinka’s Supper club!

This is the current lay of the land in crowd funding and crowd sourcing new community arts, participation and social programmes of work… so let’s get on board. At least there is funded work out there… all be it through what can feel like a lot of shouting about a project dear to your heart. Bear with me…

Join Hackney Museum’s 1st ever Thunderclap…

Thunderclaps though – what the hell? I know I was confused myself when I first heard about these.

Small is beautiful & sometimes the most hidden away when stumbled upon is the most rewarding. Hackney Museum is one such gem… offering a glimpse into the world on your doorstep, you are forgiven if you have not yet sampled this amazing museum at the heart of Hackney, East London, UK.

By VOTING for our museum to work with award winning internationally acclaimed artist Yinka Shonibareyou can help change all this…
